Luontoon.fi – Punatulkun polku+

Description

For national park rules, services, and Metsähallitus guidance for this exact loop, start with the Punatulkun polku page on Luontoon.fi. Tammela gathers day-trip ideas and links to the official Luontoon hubs for its national parks on Retkelle Tammelaan. Luontopolkumies on Retkipaikka describes the red markings, counter-clockwise habit, mossy ridges, Taipaleensuo duckboards and gravel, the crossing toward Lehdos parkkipaikka, and how Punatulkun polku overlaps Pohjantikan polku on shared segments near Korteniemi. Out in the Nature adds English driving notes from highway 2, a picnic table at Lehdos, spring conditions on the pine-forest shore approach to Korteniemi, and clear advice to keep dogs leashed near wildlife like adders. Punatulkku trail is about 3.2 km on our map as a loop in Liesjärvi National Park in Tammela, Kanta-Häme. It is marked in red and is the usual short counterpart to the longer blue Pohjantikan polku departing from Korteniemi parkkipaikka; many visitors walk one loop after the other or link junctions for a roughly 6 km combination. The terrain stays gentle—only small relief steps—though fallen trunks can slow you briefly. After Perkonlahti the red branch follows signs toward Lehdos; farther on, Taipaleensuo mixes boardwalk and surfaced track before the trail returns through räme fringing Lake Liesjärvi and a bog-rosemary point hikers call Levousnokka in on-trail signage. The shore and moss sections are strong reasons to choose this loop when you want lakeside air without the rougher footing common on the blue route. Facilities cluster at Korteniemi: Korteniemi parkkipaikka, Korteniemi tulipaikka for a fire break, and Korteniemi uusi kaivo for water sit a short walk apart along the loop as our map orders them. Lehdos parkkipaikka on Korteniementie is the handiest start if you want to follow Out in the Nature’s counter-clockwise suggestion straight onto the red loop. The yellow Ilvesreitti crosses the same trail hub for multi-day connections, and the green Ahonnokan luontopolku offers a very short circuit from Korteniemi when you need a minimal add-on. Korteniemi heritage farm beside the main parking is a summer open-air destination with animals and buildings managed by Metsähallitus; opening and accessibility details belong on their visitor pages rather than here.

Length & route

The trail is about 3.2 km on our map as one red-marked circuit through lakeshore fringe, gentle ridge, and mire in Liesjärvi National Park. Out in the Nature rounds the distance to about 3.1 km for the red loop alone and recommends anticlockwise travel from Lehdos. Luontopolkumies measured roughly 3.5 km and completed the walk in about an hour at a brisk pace without counting a separate coffee stop taken earlier at Korteniemi tulipaikka. Many hikers combine Punatulkun polku with Pohjantikan polku at shared junctions for an outing near 6 km.

Getting there

By car from Helsinki–Pori road 2, follow signs toward the national park; avoid blindly trusting navigators onto Hennontie and instead use Kansallispuistontie and Korteniementie as in Out in the Nature’s Korteniemi directions. Korteniemi parkkipaikka sits at Korteniementie 242 beside the heritage farm and connects to yellow Ilvesreitti markers as well as the blue and green loops. Lehdos parkkipaikka is along the same road at Korteniementie 160 with a noted picnic table and is the practical start for the red loop when you want anticlockwise pacing. Buses serve Kyynärä in Tammela with roughly 4 km of walking left to the trailheads; timetable and ticket operators are linked from national park travel pages rather than repeated here. Confirm winter maintenance and any closures on Luontoon.fi before you go.

Good to know

National park visitors should follow Metsähallitus rules for pets, fireplaces, and camping on Luontoon.fi. Out in the Nature reminds readers to keep dogs leashed and to use care near basking adders in early spring pasture edges at Korteniemi. Neither dedicated YouTube search surfaced a high-confidence overview focused only on this red loop; preview terrain through Retkipaikka photos and the English walk notes instead.
